$75,500. Yes, that is the actual average cash cost to produce just one single coin for public mining companies in Q2. It is a staggering number, especially when you realize it is higher than the price of the asset itself during that period. CoinShares just dropped a fascinating report about where the mining industry is heading. Many mining firms have packed their bags and pivoted to Artificial Intelligence infrastructure, but will a sudden price recovery bring them back to the network? Why would anyone jump back to low-margin mining when high-performance AI computing offers much steadier and lucrative revenue?

🔹 The average ex-tax cash cost for public miners hit roughly $75,500 in Q2.
🔹 The massive halving pressure has squeezed traditional mining profit margins to the absolute limit.
🔹 High-performance computing for AI is proving to be way more profitable and stable for these energy giants.

Honestly, it feels like we are witnessing a permanent shift in how these giant mining facilities operate. Once you go AI, you probably do not go back to mining $BTC . What do you think about this transition? #Bitcoin #Mining #AI #Write2Earn

The global mining M&A is exploding! Fewer deals, but much bigger total value! The big guys aren’t exploring anymore—they’re just buying ready-made assets.

Bitcoin mining is undergoing a silent but profound transformation. According to recent CoinShares data, publicly traded companies in the sector have accumulated Artificial Intelligence contracts worth more than $100 billion, even though their current annualized revenue barely reaches $1.1 billion. 📊

The operational contrast is clear: out of more than 4 gigawatts under contract for high-performance computing, only about 550 megawatts are actively billing. Nevertheless, the market continues to reward this diversification into technological infrastructure with high multiples. 💡

What to watch: the deployment speed of data centers and whether the AI fever will dilute or strengthen miners' energy balance ahead of the next reward cycles. #Bitcoin #AI #Mining #CryptoMarkets $BTC

🚨 Ethiopia Bitcoin Mining Hits a Power Supply Crisis 🧠

📊 | $BTC | $ETH | $BNB |

- Follow, like, and share your thoughts 📈

- Ethiopia’s power utility will cut electricity to Bitcoin miners by 75%, leaving actual supply at only 23% of the contracted amount.
- Due to El Niño, reservoir inflows have fallen by about 20%, limiting generation capacity.
- Mining has been one of the company’s biggest customers—accounting for one-third of its power consumption and contributing about 35% of revenue.

˗ˋˏ📈ˎˊ˗ The ZEC surge is also changing the mining economy.
According to estimates by Zach Pandl, research director at Grayscale, each megawatt-hour used to mine Zcash would generate approximately 4 times more gross revenue than the same amount of energy used to mine Bitcoin.
Today, Zcash miners together receive about $2 million per day, while Bitcoin distributes roughly $35 million.
BTC still dominates total revenue because its mining infrastructure is much larger. But when the comparison is made in terms of energy efficiency, the picture changes.

🔥 Grayscale also estimates that, machine for machine, a dedicated ZEC setup produces about 2x the daily revenue of an equivalent BTC miner.
But there’s a crucial detail:
REVENUE ≠ PROFIT.
Energy, cooling, maintenance, pool fees, and ASIC depreciation still need to be deducted. In addition, Bitcoin uses SHA-256 and Zcash uses Equihash: the machines are not interchangeable. A BTC miner can’t simply point its ASIC to ZEC.

👀 The market has already noticed the opportunity.
Zcash’s hash rate grew by about 2.5x in 2026, increasing network security — but also raising difficulty and gradually reducing each miner’s share of revenue.
All of this comes after an extraordinary revaluation of the $ZEC .
The report says the asset rose from about $42 in September 2025 to more than $1,000, accumulating a gain of nearly 2,300% over one year.

🔥 The big question now is:
how long can this 4x advantage last if more miners enter the race?

👇 If you had access to the necessary infrastructure, would you mine $BTC or Zcash?

₿ Two miners found a block simultaneously — one was discarded
On September 11, a single-block chain reorganization occurred on the Bitcoin network. Two major pools—Spiderpool and Antpool—found valid blocks almost simultaneously, triggering a brief contest to determine which block would be included in the main chain.
The block with the greatest accumulated work prevailed and was accepted by the network, while the other was discarded. This event was documented by analysts at Galaxy Research.
Single-block reorganizations are a rare but routine occurrence for Bitcoin: the network automatically selects the "heaviest" chain and discards the alternative. This poses no threat to the network.

🚨 Clandestine Crypto Farm Dismantled in Mexico for Energy Theft and Money Laundering

​Mexican authorities shut down an illegal mining operation with around 300 GPUs and hidden satellite antennas in the state of Puebla. The facility was running directly connected to the infrastructure of a federal hydropower plant to steal electricity.

​📉 Key Points of the Case

​Energy “Cat” (Gato de Energia): The farm eliminated its mining costs by diverting power from the public grid in a remote area.

​Suspected Cartels: The investigation points to money laundering by organized crime. Mining produces “clean” cryptocurrencies with no prior history, avoiding exchanges that require KYC.

​Background in the Region: This is already the 4th dismantled clandestine mining operation in the state of Puebla since 2025.

​💡 Market Outlook

​Power theft and links to illegal activities increase regulatory pressure and government scrutiny on legitimate miners.

Hashrate isn’t a machine counter. It’s an estimate built from how quickly blocks arrive.

The network knows the mining difficulty and sees the time between blocks. From that, it estimates how much hashing work miners must be doing to produce those blocks. A run of fast blocks can make estimated hashrate jump even if no new machines switched on. A run of slow blocks can drag it lower while the hardware stays exactly where it was.

Hypothetical example: if the network’s expected block interval is ten minutes but several blocks arrive in five, the estimate can imply twice the hashrate. That doesn’t prove miners doubled their rigs. It may just be statistical luck.

Reading the number as a live count of mining machines is the common error. It cannot tell you how many ASICs are running, where they are located, whether they’re profitable, or whether some capacity is temporarily offline. It also isn’t a clean measure of miner confidence. Difficulty changes alter the work required, while hardware efficiency keeps changing underneath the estimate.

For $BTC , the useful signal is persistence across a longer window, not one sharp print. Even then, estimated hashrate describes network output, not the financial health of every miner.

Bitdeer mined 293.2 BTC last week. It sold every single coin — zero BTC held in treasury, the same as every week since February.

That's not a one-off. A Nasdaq-listed miner is now running bitcoin as a cash-flow instrument instead of a balance-sheet asset, funneling fresh supply straight into fiat to fund its AI/HPC buildout. The old miner playbook was hold-through-halving; the new one is sell-on-mint.

Worth tracking: when the biggest structural sellers in the market refuse to hold their own output, who's actually absorbing that supply on every dip?

Bitcoin’s fee market is at the floor while the machines keep piling in. The next-block fee is 1 sat/vB, and the fee economy is also 1 sat/vB. Against that, network hashrate sits at 1025 EH/s, up 15.27% over 30d.

That’s a bad combination for anyone reading hashrate as a simple health meter. More hashrate means more computing power competing for the same block space. It does not mean more users are transacting, nor does it prove miners are profitable. $BTC can have a stronger security budget on paper while the fee side gives miners very little extra income.

The 30-day hashrate chart shows capacity expanding, but it can’t identify which operators are absorbing the cost, how efficient their hardware is, or whether treasury sales are happening. The pressure mechanism is clear enough: expensive competition meeting a fee market that’s paying the minimum visible rate.

That’s why “hashrate up” is not automatically bullish for miner economics. It can describe a tougher race, not better cash flow.

🔸 0.43%

that's fees as a share of what miners earned over a day

the halving is on a schedule everyone can recite. the line that's supposed to replace the subsidy afterwards is a rounding error, and almost nobody quotes it

block rewards shrink on time. the fee market was supposed to grow into the gap. one of those two is happening

the year says it from another side:
— eight difficulty increases, 33.34% together
— ten decreases, -45.27% together
— net -11.93% across the timeframe

so the network breathes. it doesn't grow

and every four years the half of miner revenue that arrives on a schedule gets cut in half again, while the half that has to be earned from actual usage sits at 0.43% and shows no sign of moving

$BTC doesn't need an answer to this today. it needs one eventually, and eventually has a date on it whether anyone likes the date or not
